I believe sales across the board have been pretty good this year. Still it might be worth the wait if GC or some other big retailer ordered to many and want to clear stock out before they have to inventory it.

07.12.2010		Given how fast the first driver/software update came out, I'd imagine you will see more of them shortly. NI seems to be tight-lipped about said updates, but that's likely just a choice of PR policy.

I would say check the community s early next year when you're ready to buy, and see how the overall mood is. Remember that more people come to a community to complain than to praise.

The other big factor here is what you will be running the software on...Mac users seem much happier at the moment, so if you plan on running off OSX, you have considerably less to worry about I'd say.

Myself, I'm waiting for one more update...I'd like to at least see the issue of jogwheel pitch bend sensitivity resolved, which I'd imagine is coming in the next update based on how vocal people have been about it (and how potentially easy the fix probably is).

I'm also kind of hoping Guitar Center or someone else sweetens the deal with a good coupon...GC had a 15% coupon for Cyber Monday that would've worked on the S4, but alas, I found out way too late. Sometimes the after-Xmas sales are just as good though, especially if sales aren't quite where they need to be and companies want to boost their 2010 numbers last-minute.

06.12.2010		There has already been a driver update. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another driver update and maybe software update. All of these will be available through the service center. I highly doubt and would not even believe about expecting a hardware update anytime in the next year, maybe longer.
